Reviews
Just taken delivery of this, great service as usual from Graham Russell drums, I'd highly recommend them. I have an acrolite from the 70's and this sounds exactly the same, don't get too hung up on trying to find an original and over paying for it. It comes with a coated Ambassador head which I give a light sand with 120 grit sand paper, this makes it perfect for brushes.
